Aren’t these just the most cute fun dinosaurs you could wish to meet?!They’re from the Tiny Dinos set by Doodle Pantry.As with all their sets you get so much in them 😀 Here I’ve printed the dinos onto some of the patterned papers included with them.I’d already printed them onto card as I wanted extra stability once they were fussy cut.Their eyes and the spots on the stegosaurus have been paper pieced.The spots have even been done so with spotty paper 😉 I die cut some hills for them to play on and the sentiment,which is also included,has been cut with a stitching edged die.A couple of eyelets have been used to embellish.The dinos and the sentiment have been popped up on foam tape for dimension.Yeah,I know I’ve backed the scene with white rather than a sky blue.That’s for more contrast against the kraft and the card the sentiment is mounted on 🙂

I took delivery of a very special item last week.My DH paid partly for it as a gift as it was my birthday earlier this month.I just had to take the opportunity to play with it using the fabulous Float Yer Goat by Doodle Pantry.As you get papers in the set,along with images and sentiments,it seemed ideal for this type of project!Brilliant value for money too 🙂

This is what I got 😀

It’s a Big Shot Plus!And as it was only £15 more I grabbed one with the Starter Kit.Only because,for me,the dies and A4 embossing folder look so useful.(Yes,it still has the protective plastic on the top handle.I’m leaving it on for as long as poss!)

I started by printing the patterned paper from the set onto A4 cardstock then cut out the box using the die.Easiest box I ever made 🙂 Cut some the tag die from kraft card,cut the sentiment using it too but trimmed it to fit inside the tag by hand.Also die cut the scribble flower and scalloped edge to decorate.I did use a different tag die for the pre-coloured version of the goat,using the same method as before.A button,twine and dew drops – voilà!Mission complete 🙂 Am going to fill this with some sweet treats for my DH as part of his Father’s Day pressie.It’s good to get ahead 😀

I just had to choose this adorable little Berry Hedgehog by Doodle Pantry and colour him with my Copic Ciao Markers.You do also get pre-coloured versions of him along with a selection of papers and a couple of sentiments.I ended up pulling these magazine freebie papers out instead tho’ as my printer ran out of ink leaving the bottom faded – not a good look!Decided to make a shaped card with stuff hanging over the edge to add more interest.Die cut some different leaves and the matching blueberries are actually holly ones 🙂 Made this for my DD2’s birthday next month as she loves hedgies almost as much as me!!

Well..I have to admit I own a Grand Calibur,some Grand Nesties and some Go Kreate Half XXL Frames…so why do I grab a square card every time?! Convenience…laziness…perhaps because they’re buried in the cupboard under stacks of other crafty stuff?Hmmm…not really sure :S So I decided to have fun creating a card with the super adorable Charlie Daisy by Doodle Pantry.Not only do you get Charlie himself (in both B/W outline and colour) you get a whole host of goodies including backing papers,sentiments and lots of other elements to print in outline or colour form to use as embellishments or even as the focal point of your card 😀 Firstly I coloured Charlie using Copic Ciao Markers to coordinate with the papers.Next I pulled out my Grand Calibur and Go Kreate dies to cut the base card and a couple of layers.A panel featuring the other patterned paper has been set askew.As I wanted some texture I pulled out a piece of this wavy corrugated card and stapled a length of raffia lace to it.To embellish I cut out a few pre-coloured daisies and butterflies,adding dots of 3D Crystal Lacquer to them and also to the butterfly that has landed,rather cheekily,on Charlie’s nose.I printed out the sentiment and to create the ‘lozenge’ shape I took the smaller version of the dies I cut the base from and gave them a quarter turn,then trimmed.I adhered it to the orange die cut piece then cut it down to make sure I got it right!Time for some more staples 🙂 I tend to add these on the wonk so there’s no pressure and disappointment when they’re not where they should be!!

So,I thought I would challenge myself!!I’ve done faux stitching,wobbly frames,frames using a ruler in the past…now to try something different!!And I couldn’t have found a more perfect image than this delightful Quirky Owl by Doodle Pantry .There are lots of other Quirky animals if owls ain’t your thing 🙂 Must admit it was a little strange armed with only a fine liner rather than an array of colours not say a bit daunting…but I found a useful site here.I was still feeling nervy as I began but as I went along I learned to let go and enjoy it!Of course I had the added pressure of this being a DT card and the fact that time was of the essence.Why don’t I ever take the easy route?!Not sure I got it all right and there are probably loads of mistakes that a seasoned Zentangler could spot but I’m quite pleased with the overall effect 🙂 I just had to use the pretty papers that came with the image to create a banner backdrop for him to perch amongst along with one of the sentiments also in the set.Following on from the theme I,naturally,drew in some faux stitching around the edges of the base card and banners 😀

I decided to make this cute Flat Backed Treat Box to showcase this adorable mouse and papers from the Cherry Nice Mice set by Doodle Pantry.You get so much for your money!I printed him out five times,coloured him with Copic Ciao Markers then cut out the layers and built him up using clear sticky fixers.Here’s a view at different angle to show this better :

I added some paper raffia,including a rose I made,and a sentiment that was also included in the set to finish.

For my card I’ve used the totally adorableFuzzy Duckling COLOR plus by Doodle Pantry and coloured him with Copic Ciao Markers.The backing papers are also included along with pre-coloured images and sentiments.Great value for money 🙂 The flowers and leaves I die cut from felt to go with the fuzzy feeling of the duckling.I’ve used my new fence die but rather than stick it down flat I bowed it to give extra dimension.I cut the sentiment out using a sign die.
